Finally I have Finished my Stonehorn except for some really minor detail. I haven't started on the base yet mainly because I haven't decide what I want to do with yet. Since I want it to connect with the rest of the army and its theme, got some ides what I want to be done, but I still just don't know what is doable and looks good with everything.
I have also come quite on the way with my Mournfang cav, done with the fur on all my 4 of them and done all the base coating on them aswell, started with the highlighting on the horn that are attached to the seat.
I can also report that I have started painting on my Ironblaster, I have mainly been focused on one of the big horn and I am on my first layer of highlighting, I have also started doing some layering on the cannon. I have thou find that I am lacking 2 of the new metal colours so I need to get them before I can go any further with it
Thats all for now

Starting with Ogre kingdom "late post"
This Autumn I have pick up Ogre Kingdom Army from Game workshop, and I am really glad with the decision to do so.
So what I have bought was this:
Ogre Kingdom Codex
1x Firebelly
2x Ogre kingdom battalion
2x Mournfang Calvary
1x Ironblaster/ Scraplauncher
1x Stonehorne/ Thundertusk
1x box of Space wolfs that will be my sabertusks
So what have I planed for this army? Well I did know that I wanted to convert a army that´s much of the reason that I pick up the ogre´s but I also did like the new Ogre models when they came out.
So in what theme am I inspired by? Well I knew that I wanted a Indian inspired army, because I have always been inspired by them but sadly I just don't know enough of them. So the Indian tribes I thought of was Inca, Aztec and the Maya, so before the Columbus era. So I did do some research about them, not that heavy but just through the internet to get the layer top on them so to speak. But I after much debate and reasoning here and there I did pick the Maya. I was also so lucky under this time of contemplation that I was able to watch a problem about the Mayan temples that they have been able to find new one´s with satellite help. And I have always had a more drawn to the Mayans then to the others, I think its because but, not sure if its I did a work about them in my 5th or 6th school year, and all through my year of history tv programs but I have found that they focus about 90% on the Inca when it comes to the Indians, in south/Central America.
It might be over my ability but I will never know if I don't try, and I can only get better at it.

Late Fanatic report
So how did it go with this autom Fanatic? Well I did win 3 games and lose 2, so its like last time but I did around 5 points worse this time if I remeber correct so its not that bad, I did end up at 30 place this time so its all good.It was also really fun to see another dwarf player to end up at place 18th! He did a grate job and its always fun to see that the dwarven players are geting higher up in the ranking.
I did have a grate time as you always can expect from Fantasia Fanatic tournaments. Even if I did have a game vs O&G where nothing did work out my way and my opponent was on fire, so I was more or less just laugthing awey throu the game since there was nothing I reallt could do. After all I did my cannons and my GT in just the first turn, but my 2 cannon did have 1 wound left but he was unable to hurt anything, so the rest of my warmachines where shot down in turn 2-3, or blown up. He where also able to get 6 Fot of Gork of on me and almost all of them where able to get full hits aswell, not just that he did even manegde to kill both my BSB and runelord (general) in the same turn with the same spell, after I failed a look out sir, so it was all fun and games =)

Tournoment "report"
So I am here again. First i think I will only write a post once or twice each month, dont think I can do much more then that. Right now I have taken a break from all minitures just to recharge my batteries.
So how did the Tournament go?
Well first of all I hade a wonderfull time, with some really fun and intresting games, and I must say I really did learn allot how my army Cold one knights army works. Even if I can tell I got a long way to go. So how did the game´s go? well I have 1 drawn against Filip and his Beastmen army, then I had a win against Jon and his ogres (the leder of the tournament) but not by much. then I got completly sloughtered against Robin and his WoC Juggernot army then I had a win against Alexander and his Dark elves army =).
so over all I ended up on 11th place out of 18 total, really glad with it since I was using a new army that I am still learning hadn't look what the scenarios where before I played the matches. And before all the games everyone from my gaming community did gues how well/ or bad they would do. I had guest that I would end up on 10th place but I ended up on 11. I take it such as I know my own ability's really well.

thoughts and notice
I havent been bothered to cear about this blogg for a LONG time, but recently I have been thinking more and more about it. Even if i dont have any readers I need to remind me that I started this for my own sake, and not for others.
So what have i been up to? Well I started with Warmachine and hoard in april and I must say really do enjoy the game, the race that I chose was Trollblood I cant get from the thing that they remind me of the Skotts with there kilts and there special and pricturial collor and patterns, and there foundnes of ale (not sure if the last part is really true, but hey they are part of the Grate brittan empire) and with that you must be blind if you cant drawn the resimblance to the Dwarfs! And the fact that the TrollBloods are fighting for there survival.
I even got my little sister to pick up the game, she also chose a hoard race the Legion of Everblight.
So how are things with Warhammer? Well in april there was the big Fantasia Finatic taurnoment and this time I did much beter, specialy when there was no Scenarios and I am more used to the game. I ended up at 29 out of 84 or something like that, I am really glad and happy with the resaults. But I must say that I am nervus about the tournoment this autom how the Dwarfs will do. Now that we wont be playing with ETC rules and I belive back to senarios, think there might be to much against me TBH. but there is no point taking out the lost to soon before I even have all the facts.
I have started with Dark elves now, might be abit of betryal but I always wanted to have Dwarfs, Dark elves and Wood elves. I have my sister all the wood elf I have and she´s have taken a intrest, Shes nearly done with 12 dryads and they are coming together real nicely.
With the Dark elves I am building my ownd Couldron of Blood from scrath, and its coming along quit well now that I have made some progres on it.
I am abit strest out Since I will anted a 1500Pts taurnoment on the 4 of Agoust with my Dark elves and I have allot of things still that I need to paint up before then. Just hoping that I can ge the couldron done to a acceptible standard so I can use it, if not I will need to get together a Dwarf list insted.
That is all for now

Quotes from Lord of the Rings saga.
- All that is gold does not glitter,
- Not all those who wander are lost;
- The old that is strong does not wither,
- Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
- From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
- A light from the shadows shall spring;
- Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
- The crownless again shall be king.
Gandalf: You cannot pass! I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun! Go back to the shadow. You shall not pass!
"So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
—Gandalf

Trollblood Hoard
As the titel states I have bought the starting pack with trollblood and the "Codex" book for them as well, I must say that I have fallen in love with how these models look´s. Its been alot of work in order just to be able to prime them, have been some really bad mold lines on the figures face that´s taken up allot of time. Specially on the Troll Axer the the legs and the chest didn't even match so I have been forced to do allot of work with liquid Greenstuff.
On last Thursday our local warhammer shop open for the first time in the new local, and they had some special prices on things over the entire day. I was one of the first 5 there to buy so I got a 20% discount. I was able to pick up a pack of 16 dwarves warrior and 16 Thunders/quarrellers. And since I am starting on a Dark Elf army I got the codex for them and a pack of 16 warrior, and the battalion box even if they didn't have one in for the moment they order one in for me with the discount that I found was really nice, I also got a Elf caster from avatars of war that I am planing to use for my Dark elf army or even my wood elf buts its leaning toward DE. I bought some new paints as well that I will need in order to paint my Trollblood.

My local gaming store is moving to a new place and have been knock off of there metal stock of warhammer, WH40k, Lord of the rings.
This week I went there in order to see if I could find anything for me, and I did. I found several metal dwarf heros, a Runelord, a really good older BsB, Master engineer with GW and a Dwarf lord with a Sheild and a 1h weapon. I was really glad that I was able to find some LotR character as well, Gandalf the white, Boromor, Faramir and one of his captain, Eowyn, Aragorn, Gil-galad, Elrond, Theoden, Eomer and last glorifindel. I got all of these figure for a really awesome price, and I am so happy that I could find them all.
I have done allot of painting done this weekend, almost finished with my dwarf lord with the shield that I started on just today. Done the baste for my miner unit filler and when I am done with it will look really grate, and you will easily be able to see that unit its for.
I have been painting on my Gyrocopter the wings are almost 100% done just some minor metal things left on it, Started painting the engine, the cockpit and the tail of it.
I have also been painting on the Grudge bearers throne, and have come a good way on it, will soon be able to start painting with the glorious gold on it, have so far just been doing Tin bitz and bright bronze on it, and its starting to look really good.

Master Engineer
Yesterday day I did the finished touches on my master engineer and he turned out really well. With this character I did a cork base for him so it looks like he´s standing on a black rock. I painted him in quit dark green colours. I have also started painting my Runelord, he will also be standing on some cork.
Here are the pictures I have taken
